Blank out Display?

Hi there!

When I am listening to music on my notebook, I do not really need the display. So I was currently thinking about turning it off. Is there an easy way to completely blank out the display? I am running a Zepot Znote 6214w with an nvidia7600 with the latest drivers installed.

thx in advance

This does the trick for me. Immediately turns screen back on mouse or key input.
